Custom Patio Builders & Turnkey Backyard Designers
Stop guessing and start visualizing. We are a premier design-build firm engineering high-performance backyard sanctuaries. From immersive 3D spatial design to flawless Techo-Bloc installations, we handle everything under one roof.
Engineering Your High-Performance Sanctuary
A true luxury outdoor living space cannot be pieced together by hiring separate, uncoordinated contractors for your patio, pool, and lighting. At SunSouth Carolinas, we provide a cohesive, turnkey design-build experience. Our architectural designers work with you to conceptualize your entire backyard ecosystem, ensuring perfect sightlines, seamless traffic flow, and absolute structural permanence. By bridging the gap between imaginative design and heavy-duty execution, we eliminate the stress and deliver a master-planned resort right outside your back door.
Immersive 3D Parametric Design
Never sign a contract based on a flat pencil sketch. We build your entire backyard in photorealistic 3D, allowing you to walk through the space virtually and see exactly how the afternoon sun will cast shadows over your new Techo-Bloc patio before we ever break ground.
100% Turnkey Execution
We eliminate the chaos of managing multiple subcontractors. From deep clay excavation and heavy masonry to complex gas lines and low-voltage electrical work, our specialized in-house crews execute the entire master plan with military synchronicity.
HOA & Bureaucracy Management
Master-planned backyards trigger intense scrutiny from county zoning boards and HOAs. Our administrative experts handle the land surveys, impervious surface calculations, and rigorous architectural approvals on your behalf.

Our founders, Carlos and Christina, personally conduct a white-glove inspection of the finished project to ensure it perfectly matches the original 3D design.

A comprehensive backyard redesign is a major capital investment. Through Lyon Financial, we offer transparent, specialized funding solutions that allow you to finance the entire scope of your outdoor living project seamlessly.
Frequently Asked Questions About Backyard Design
A general landscaper often focuses on plants and basic maintenance. As a design-build firm, we act as both your architectural designer and your structural contractor. This guarantees that the complex 3D design you approve is flawlessly executed by the same team, without communication breakdowns or subcontractor delays.
We specialize exclusively in high-end structural transformations. Our minimum project investment threshold is $10,000, with comprehensive master-planned backyards (including kitchens, masonry, and pavilions) frequently ranging from $60,000 to over $125,000 depending on the scope and premium finishes.
In our designs, we demand materials that offer true architectural permanence. Techo-Bloc provides ultra-dense, 10,000+ PSI concrete pavers with through-body colors that easily survive Carolina freeze-thaw cycles without the fading or cracking common in builder-grade materials or poured concrete.
Absolutely. Our 3D modeling isn’t just for aesthetics; it is an engineering tool. We map the topography of your sloped yard to calculate exact retaining wall heights, French drain placements, and a standard 2% patio pitch to guarantee zero standing water.
No. We handle 100% of the bureaucratic red tape. Our administrative team prepares the land surveys and submits the detailed blueprints required for county zoning permits and stringent HOA architectural reviews in North and South Carolina.
